The schematic was simply an Arduino Nano, resistor, transistor, diode and relay.
The experimental solution was start with a 1S pulse and keep reducing until the relay didn't pull in reliably, then go back a step.
A more conservative approach would be to start with a 1mS pulse and increase until it pulls in reliably at the minimum expected battery voltage. |
